[[Variables]] contain values. They are available within the scope of the [[widget|Widgets]] in which they are defined, as well as all child widgets in the widget tree.
!!Defining Variables
Variables are defined by...
; [[Macros|Macros in WikiText]]
: in fact, variables are macro shorthands (see example below)
; SetWidget
: sets a variable to a value
; ListWidget
: sets list-item and iterator variabes
; TiddlyWiki
: in the core and core templates
!!Using Variables
Variables are used...
; via shorthand
:`<<variableName>>`
; via variable substitution within [[macros|Macros]]
:`$(variableName)$`
; as parameters to [[filter steps|Filters]]
: `[operator<variableName>]`
; in [[widgets|Widgets]]
: internally, or as widget attributes
: `<$edit tiddler=<<currentTiddler>>/>`
!! Examples
''defining a variable via SetWidget''
```
<$set name=foo value=bar>
<<foo>>
</$set>
```
<<<
<$set name=foo value=bar>
<<foo>>
</$set>
<<<
''a variable is a macro''
Below, the `\define` pragma at the beginning of a tiddler [[defines the macro|Macros in WikiText]] `<<tags>>`, valid in the scope of the CurrentTiddler, returning the value of the standard `tags` field.
